Insane

What should I do this Sunday morning? Stay in a nice warm bed and catch up on much needed rest or go out in the icy rain and run about? Great decision Alan I thought as I successfully negotiated the hazards associated with donning man tights.

As it was cold and wet I decided my long sleeve winter running top was needed as well as a lightweight rain jacket which I hadn't seen for quite a while. Needless to say I couldn't find it so ended up with my heavy duty rain coat.

Upon opening the front door I began to question my wisdom as the rain was much heavier than anticipated and felt very cold.

Today's run was going to be a 2 mile recovery and my purpose was to ensure I ran easy. Midway through the run though I knew I had overdone my wardrobe collection as I felt I was slowly poaching myself. Yet again my glasses steamed up and I had the dreaded wet feet. I really don't like wet feet. Is there such things as waterproof running shoes?

It ended up being a successful run. Controlled and steady. Result.

Even better was arriving home to be greeted with a hot bubble bath. Sometimes having a wife can be really rewarding 🤣🤣🤣.

It would be great if she could also knock up some sausage sandwiches whilst I have a soak but better not push my luck 😄😄

Glad you got the tights on this time...well done on that very cold wet run... I stayed in bed!

Waterproof socks are good. It was a lot warmer out there than it looked. I was going to remove my Waterproof jacket but couldn't be bothered to fight with it while running.

Well done Alan for braving the elements, I find it always feels like it's an extra achievement.

I have a pair of gore-tex trail running shoes but not sure if the same is available in road shoes, I too have just been putting up with wet feet in this wonderful uk weather.
